San Pietro Basilica - interior - Rome, Italy
The famous columns of Bernini are shown, right in front of the main altar. The lower rim of the cupola of Michelangelo is just seen. The columns are said to duplicate those from an older Basilica built by Emperor Constantine, which in turn were supposed to duplicate the shape of columns from Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem. Solomon’s Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians, and a replacement Temple (the Second Temple), was (with great historical irony), destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
